Paperback. Condition: Good. Modestly described by its author as "a little rule for beginners," this masterpiece of spiritual wisdom dates from the sixth century. It was originally intended as a manual for aspiring monks, a diverse group composed of serfs, scholars, shepherds, and sons of the nobility. St. Benedict's little book eventually developed into the preeminent monastic legislative code, a distinction it maintains to this day. In addition to its importance in the organization and spread of Western monasticism, this volume also offers sound suggestions for readers outside the abbey.

His teachings have guided readers from every walk of life for 1,500 years, encouraging and inspiring them with advice regarding the dignity of labor, the challenge of responsibility, and the proper use of resources.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Discussion around the bestseller The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher has led many people to want to know more about Benedictine principles.​​​​​​​Listen, my child. I want you to put the ear of your heart to the solid ground of the master's wisdom (what I received, I'm passing on to you). It's advice from a spiritual father who loves you--the sort of counsel you receive by letting it shape your whole life. Listening is hard work, but it's the essential work.

The result is a classic re-introduced that will enliven any 21st century expression of religious community.…
